Gigolo Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 GAAAAH!!! HOLY HELL! How'd you do that!?!?!? That tears it...that mo-fo is MINE! Say howdy to the new owner of that cart people. No joke, that's freakishly close to what that cart looks like. i think cpuwiz was pointing out how easy it would be to create a cart that looks like what you describe. take a US games cart, remove the label, print of the end label from atariage. cut & tear it and glue it onto the us games case. the point of opening it up would be to see if it is an eprom on a homebrew board...or if it is on a Simage board/Rom...if there is such a thing. has anyone opened up a legit eli's ladder to see what the board/rom looks like? well, now that you own the one that started this discussion, open it up and take pictures!!! I hate to burst everyone's bubble about getting a look at my new Eli cart, but unfortunately i'm working off a Dreamcast for the time being IE...PC-less. I know this sounds retarded, but i really don't know what i'm looking at when i open a cart up. I've always concentrated on the collecting, and especially the "FUN" aspects of retrogaming...so i've never really looked into the electronics therein. What do i need to look for ?

CPUWIZ Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Look at names on the PCB, numbers and see if it looks like it was hand-tampered with. See if it contains a ROM or and EPROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPU...the only one of those things i can even identify is ROM="Read only memory". I've got it open right here, along with a junk spare Swordquest i have to compare it to. They look identical except for a small orange stripe going around the width of the board, & a faint "S1" on the side. What does that mean...?

CPUWIZ Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 So the Eli's Ladder board contains only 1 chip, correct ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigolo Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 Yup...that's what it looks like to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 What you waiting for, Gigolo? Crack that sucker open! And by golly, you're one lucky dude.

I bet those who don't own a copy (like me) would have to shell out mucho grande just to own this game. Whattayamean "waiting"??? Read back a few posts bro. I cracked it...CPUwiz helped me...we celebrated...we got drunk...we puked on the rug...so all is good. And yes, i'm really feeling luckier by the moment on this... I never really appreciated how freakin' rare this thing was untill i got mine. I do wonder just how much $ i could get back out of it though. It's always been a dream to own an R10 2600 game...but i'm a perfectionist thru-and-thru, so this is'nt going without that little feeling i get in the pit of my stomach when i come across a rare "nekid lady/wounded warrior" in one of my stores. For right now, it is mine...but if/when i get my hands on any R10 in nice condition, Eli will find a nice new home with somebody here on AtariAge. :wink: How many R10's are there anyway ?

holygrailvideogames.com Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 If you decide to sell it, I would be interested. My 2 sons looked through the DP Collector's Guide when I bought it last year. They saw how rare Eli's Ladder is and they constantly scan eBay's auctions looking for one.

That's not what i meant at all CPU... I'm a rabid perfectionist, and i meant if i ever get a hold of another R10, i'd share the wealth with my peeps on AtariAge...it was kind of a gesture of gratitude man. I said a little ways back in the thread that i do this mostly for "FUN"...that's what games are made for in the first place after all. It just kind of eats at me to have a big rare thing, but with some kind of problem...you know ? Anyway, the wealth shall still be passed down eventually, but untill that next R10 comes my way, it shall be drooled over every day here at my place. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggerthehun Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I can't make out the titles there - what are they! And, just for shits and giggles, what's that whole case worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+-^CrossBow^- Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Did you just say Last Starfighter? But aren't those all 2600 carts? So is that actuallly a Solaris Prototype before the Solaris name? Explain? as I thought The Last Starfighter was only on the 5200 and 8-bits?
